P.J. Ashton
P.J. Ashton writes grimdark fantasy that explores the eternal struggle between light and shadow, where morally complex heroes clash with ruthless villains, and power often comes at a devastating cost. A lifelong fan of dark fantasy, P.J. draws inspiration from epic tales like Lord of the Rings, the sprawling saga of Malazan Book of the Fallen, and the urban enchantment of Neverwhere.
Having lived in London, Australia, Russia, Germany, and now Thailand, P.J. draws from a wealth of experiences to enrich his storytelling, infusing his stories with a rich sense of worldbuilding and diverse cultural influences. When he’s not writing, you’ll find him watching fantasy movies, reading fantasy books or plotting his next adventure.

It is my shadow in my profile picture, taken fourteen years ago. I was around 3000 meters high (approx. 10000 feet) on a mountain called Rinjani. It was near dawn, and I was about to miss the sunrise on the peak as it was still a distance (vertical!) away. The terrain was difficult; I wasn't in tip-top condition since I hadn't been climbing for a long time. Nearing the peak, I slid down two steps for every three steps I took. It was exhausting; I considered quitting and kept questioning my existence and objective.
I didn't quit and reached there in an embarrassing amount of time. I missed the sunrise but, thankfully, also the sunrise crowd and had the peak all to myself. It was awesome. The mountain has a beautiful turquoise-c -
Chelsea O'Hara
Chelsea O’Hara writes psychological thrillers grounded in real life — inspired by experiments, human behaviour, and the darkness we try not to see. She’s fascinated by the fragility of memory, the strangeness of isolation, and the way ordinary people fracture under extraordinary pressure.
Buy books on Amazon
Her stories mix unsettling psychology with sharp, human edges — a little horror, a little heartbreak, and just enough dark humour to keep the lights on. She likes to say she writes about the things people prefer to ignore — the whispers in the walls, the truths we bury, and the shadows we pretend not to see.
Why did she start writing? She couldn’t tell you. Maybe to make sense of the chaos, maybe to lean into it. She’s always been fascinated by the human min -

Aurora Award nominee for Best Young Adult Novel - Ka'Azula, (2023) and retired librarian. Ann always wanted to write a book of her own. She was inspired to write this story by a strange beeping coming from a box in her garage. When COVID-19 hit Canada and everyone was in quarantine or lock down, she had lots of time to imagine being sucked through a wormhole to other planets and what wonderful things she might find there. She is also the author of the soon to be published, humorous picture book titled, "The Squirrel Show". Stay tuned!

The author, Terry Birdgenaw, is a Metis of Oji-Cree, English, Scottish, Dutch and French-Canadian heritage, whose mother’s first cousin is a long-time lead elder of the Metis Nation of Canada. However, Terry would argue that by moving away from the Oji-Cree territory a few generations ago, his family became assimilated by European Canadian culture. Yet, Terry has long been fascinated by the story of his ancestor, Mistigoose, the indigenous Canadian woman who was the first to welcome a European into his mother’s family line.

I have a vision of writing a three-book fantasy novel and five shorter stories that lay some foundations leading up to the main storyline. As a huge movie fan, I want to write things that to me feel like movies that you are dropped in and you're wowed by it.
